Angels Senior Living at Palma Ceia sits in Tampa, Florida, in a single-story, historic building with 30 beds, which keeps things small and homey, and they focus a lot on safety and attentive care. The community serves older adults who need different types of help, offering assisted living, memory care, respite care, and adult day care, so folks can age in place without much worry about moving again. Their memory care wing is all its own, with doors secured and features like bracelet alarms to keep people with dementia or Alzheimer's safe, and all of their staff get Level I and Level II training in caring for folks with memory loss, so families often feel some peace from knowing that.
The building lets residents keep pets like cats and dogs, and everything inside and out is wheelchair accessible. They've got rooms sized at 200 or 269 square feet, with studios available if someone wants their own space or doesn't mind sharing. Residents can ask for special food or activities, and the culinary team prepares seasonal menus, serving meals restaurant-style or in rooms, with gluten-free, low sodium, vegan, and diabetic options all possible. Activities, led by a full-time Activities Director, include bingo, puzzle time, art and painting classes, stretching classes, and games like Yahtzee and Scrabble, with brain fitness and intergenerational programs mainly for the memory care folks. There are indoor and outdoor common spaces, wheelchair accessible showers, and full tubs; everyone can use the on-site beauty and barber services, and those who like gardens can enjoy them out back.
On the medical side, Angels Senior Living at Palma Ceia has skilled nursing care for those who need extra medical help, with a doctor on call, nurses visiting, and specialists like podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists dropping by. Medication technicians help manage daily prescriptions, and the team helps with reminders or hands-on support for bathing, grooming, and using the bathroom. They can take in residents who wander, try to leave, or have tough behaviors, and have staff awake and on-duty at all hours. Residents get assessed up front so care plans fit what's needed, and these are handled by caregivers who are specially trained.
The community accepts Medicaid, offers transportation and is close to bus routes, and provides devotional services both on and off site, allowing folks to keep their routines and connections. It's part of Angels Senior Living, and because it keeps the size small, staff try to know every resident and give more personalized support, creating a place that feels more like a family home than an institution. Families who need a break can use their all-inclusive respite stays, and everyone has access to hospice and end-of-life care if they need it.
